Hi Patty, a perfect pleiades poem, correct in all aspects. You have achieved what you set out to do - that is the self imposed loneliness. Well done on a rather difficult form. Warm rgards Dorothy x

    Hi Dorothy; thank you so much for your glowing review. I really struggled with the poetic form, and it wasn't until I finished did I feel like I had given it polish. Your words of encouragement mean a great deal to me,

Great poem. I was in the rare mood to review and wanted something with substance. I took a peek at a few and found this that I like a lot. I can relate and it speaks to my frame of mind, mood and current motivation. Have a great day. This is very well done. You nailed your objective. Bruce.

The silence of loneliness vs. the soul's search for serenity.
Very nicely phrased! and...all one has to do is 'walk to the door' to 'save sanity'.
A Pleiades. Really interesting form.
Enjoyed your logical flow of thoughts!

Hi,
You portrayed loneliness very well. Anyone who feels lonely or even sad or depressed at times can relate.
Good and strong word choice.

This is so good! Your words swept me into your room of confinement and loneliness. How interesting to learn that other beings can feel the same isolation. So very well portrayed and reflected by the well selected picture of the room. Very moving and cleverly designed with each sentence starting with the letter 'S'. Loved it!

You hit target!!!! Your poem made me think of all shut Ins for whatever reason.solitude is okay for a while, but the lonliness in your poem often is depression.I liked this style of poetry. Thanks for sharing

Hi
You used the Pleiades form to express the emotions of feeling alone. It can come across as agoraphobia, Loneliness is really awful. I believe we must be aware of those who are in need of company.

Well written,
Mary

Great artwork, the perfect accompaniment for your 'Solitary' Pleiades poem
You've done well with your S's and I like the ending -
Suppose for a moment
Serenity awaits.
Nice one,
cheers.

Silence, sanity, serenity, soundless state of solitary stamp, sign simplified in short, symphonic status synchronised so sounding script sounds scripture on solitariness.
